He was soo young here and already very talented and somehow he's still getting better from fight to fight, much love rob

[@likejimi5845]

Rightt was so impressed with that masterclass he put on Vettori

If you look at him now, that cut to welterweight he did must have been so debilitating.

[@RobertELee420]

thats how time works...... are you new?

[@TheLocalGent]

Agreed. Rob is an amazing martial artists, he trained with my father a few times when his team would travel up for fights in his Amateur days, always been a sponge. but i think EVERY fighter should get better with each fights, not all do sadly. Rob has always been great with fight IQ from day 1 which not every fighter can grasp.

Imagine Rob at welterweight. Bro would’ve ran through 170 in the ufc. He’s tearing people up at his natural weight class at middleweight.

He went 1-2 @170. Including a loss to wonder boy before moving up

[@Soldierofgod96]

No way, Rob at welterweight would’ve been a disaster. He would have to cut probably 30-35 pounds to make 170 which would greatly affect his chin, and it’s already questionable at middleweight (his only weakness)
